当我只运行查询时，我喜欢在存储过程上使用视图。视图还可以简化安全性，可用于简化对多个表的插入/更新，并可用于快照/物化数据(运行长时间运行的查询，并保持结果缓存)。

我使用物化视图来执行不需要实时保持准确的查询。

当我想要查看一个表的快照和/或视图(以只读方式)时

我通常创建视图来反规范化和/或聚合经常用于报告目的的数据。

EDIT

By way of elaboration, if I were to have a database in which some of the entities were person, company, role, owner type, order, order detail, address and phone, where the person table stored both employees and contacts and the address and phone tables stored phone numbers for both persons and companies, and the development team were tasked with generating reports (or making reporting data accessible to non-developers) such as sales by employee, or sales by customer, or sales by region, sales by month, customers by state, etc I would create a set of views that de-normalized the relationships between the database entities so that a more integrated view (no pun intended) of the real world entities was available. Some of the benefits could include:

减少编写查询时的冗余 建立关联实体的标准 提供机会 评估和最大化绩效 用于复杂的计算和连接 (例如在Schemabound视图上建立索引 在该软件中) 让数据更容易获取 对于团队成员和非开发人员来说是直观的。

视图是查询的封装。转换为视图的查询往往比较复杂，因此将它们保存为视图以供重用是有好处的。

以下是两个常见的原因:

你可以用它来保证安全。在主表上不授予权限，创建限制列或行访问的视图，并向用户授予查看视图的权限。

你可以为了方便使用它。将视图中经常使用的一些表连接在一起。这可以使查询保持一致并更容易。

我正在创建xxx，映射主表(如Products表)和引用表(如ProductType或ProductDescriptionByLanguage)之间的所有关系。这将创建一个视图，允许我检索产品及其从外键转换到描述的所有详细信息。 然后我可以使用ORM创建对象，轻松地构建网格、组合框等。
